Perfect place to recover from a long flight (or flights) for a night or two, this historically significant boutique property is an oasis of calm. A warm Sri Lankan welcome flows smoothly into introduction to one of the 9 suites, set in large quiet grounds, with excellent and generous breakfast and dinner served outside your room. Rooms are well-equipped, and the property also boasts a welcome swimming pool. Due to global events our Emirates flight via Dubai was swapped for Türkish via Istanbul, the latter being on time and a decent service, albeit with fewer daily flights. Travellers visiting Sri Lanka should consider using the Silk Route arrivals service, which makes the airport transit very smooth. Swapping major currencies for LKR is easy at the airport (passport required), with good rates and the ability to request preferred denominations - ATMs tend to dispense larger bills. Our driver, Manjula, met us at the Silk Route lounge and remained at our service throughout our stay, we could not have asked for better. Our adventure was organised by Caroline at Stylish Resorts (email dreams@stylishresorts.com), with in-country help from Sri Lanka in Style. Please remember to say ‘thank you ’ and to tip, as every little helps.
